Physical topology from the network itself

  • New Topology tab: the gateway on top, then the real wiring, proven from the
    switches' own forwarding tables (read over MikroTik REST, or SNMP for other
    vendors). A device hangs off the exact switch port it's really on – "ether5",
    "wifi1 (MyWLAN)" – drawn as a tidy tree: switches form the spine, clients cluster
    beneath them. Drag, pan, zoom-to-pointer; auto-fits to the window.
  • IP address distribution tab: internet → address segments (cut at real prefix
    boundaries into 4–8 slices) → devices, colour-coded by role.
  • Reads RouterOS over HTTP when its HTTPS handshake is broken, so the tables load
    reliably. Traceroute fills in routed hops.

Discovery & classification

  • mDNS/Bonjour + UPnP/SSDP: devices name themselves – iPhone vs iPad vs HomePod
    vs Apple TV, Swisscom TV boxes, Sonos, Chromecasts – no router access needed.
  • Many new device kinds: smartphone, tablet, speaker, TV vs streaming box, games
    console, payment terminal, franking machine, management controller (BMC/IP-KVM).
  • MikroTik split into router / switch / access point (even without a login), VMs
    flagged by hypervisor MAC, printers/phones no longer mislabelled as servers.
  • AirPrint / AirScan badges on printers and scanners.

UI

  • Settings grouped into tabs; Backup and Updates each get their own tab.
  • Combined scan progress bar: red while finding devices, green once the list is
    complete. Selected / filtered counts under the list. The search box matches the
    protocol badges too ("snmp", "airprint", …).
  • RTSP camera badges open in VLC. Cleaner Wake-on-LAN wording. Firewalls shown as
    their own type across many vendors.
  • A gentle banner points out that setting a login makes the readouts far richer.
